People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 549 Little lady, three reminders to make up

"Brother-in-law! I am Wuniang Qiongyu."

A little girl wearing a pink skirt, less than ten years old, jumped up and down in front of Li Xuan, looked up at him curiously, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "Brother-in-law, what would you say to Third Sister?" OK, right?"

As soon as Li Xuan walked to the gate of the courtyard, she was blocked by Xiao Wuniang.

The group of people who followed Li Xuan immediately let out a burst of laughter.

"Qiongyu!" A 14-year-old girl wearing a yellow skirt and a double bun rushed to the gate of the small courtyard from behind, grabbed Wuniang Qiongyu's shoulders, pulled her back, and bowed to Li Xuan at the same time. Said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Qiongyu is rude."

"It's okay." Li Xuan shook her head indifferently, lowered her body slightly, looked at the little girl Qiongyu, stretched out her hand to scrape her nose, and said, "Of course brother-in-law will be nice to third sister, and third sister will be a My brother-in-law's house and everything about my brother-in-law will be handed over to the third sister, do you think this is good?"

"I don't know, don't make the third sister tired, she is not in good health." Qiongyu wrinkled her nose, then looked up at the little lady in the yellow skirt, wrinkled her face bitterly and said: "Don't be like that." Like the fourth sister, she always speaks ill of the third sister behind her back."

"Qiongyu!" Liu Shubi pulled Qiongyu hard, and at the same time shouted in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

After Liu Shubi pulled, he realized that there was no pull, and only then did he realize that it was Li Xuan who was holding Qiongyu's shoulder from the other side.

With a little effort, Li Xuan hugged Qiongyu directly.

Li Xuan didn't look at Liu Shubi either, just looked at Liu Qiongyu with a smile and said, "Don't talk nonsense like this in the future, Si Niang is joking with you, right, Si Niang?"

Liu Shubi forced a smile and said, "Of course."

"Really?" Liu Qiongyu looked at Liu Shubi suspiciously, Liu Shubi hurriedly nodded vigorously, but at this moment she subconsciously turned around, and saw a bunch of people behind Li Xuan, none of them turned their heads to look at her.

……

Li Xuan put Liu Qiongyu down, took her hand and walked into the inner courtyard, a bright red sedan chair was placed in the courtyard, behind were more sisters-in-law of the Liu family, each holding round fans and snickering at Li Xuan .

Behind Li Xuan, Qin Jun and a group of Qianniuwei's guards hurried forward and stuffed red purses into the hands of every female family member present, the laughter became much quieter.

A thirty-year-old woman in blue came out from the crowd, leaned towards Li Xuan slightly, and said, "The bride is putting on makeup, please ask the groom to wait."

This is Mrs. Qin Ke.

Li Xuan looked sideways at the setting sun in the west, it was almost dark.

Li Xuan bowed her hands and said: "It's getting late, please hurry up the bride."

"The bride's make-up is fine. If the groom can make a few poems, maybe it will be faster." After Mrs. Qin Ke finished speaking, all the girls behind her pursed their lips and chuckled.

"Dare not to follow orders." Li Xuan immediately cupped his hands.

Make-up poems, this etiquette has been thoroughly spread in this dynasty, and now everything is according to the procedure.

Looking back, Li Xuan whispered, "Minghui, you are the first to come."

"Here!" Zhuge Minghui took two steps forward and stood diagonally behind Li Xuan.

Looking at the many ladies of the Liu family in front of him, Zhuge Minghui cupped his hands, raised his head, and chanted softly: "Princess Dechang is expensive, and she married into a prince's family. The loving mother mixes the powder, and the Japanese brother gives flowers. Obstacle to the Seven Fragrance Car. Let me ask whether the make-up is complete, and the east wants Xiaoxia."

"That's right." For a moment, many women from the Liu family looked at Zhuge Minghui in surprise.

Married to the prince's family, waiting for the Qixiang car.

For a while, I don't know how many people are looking forward to such a scene when they get married.

The 17-year-old boy smiled shyly, then folded his hands and retreated.

"Poetic and sincere, speed up for a moment." Lightly knocked on the window edge at the back, and a light gong sounded in the room.

The sound of the gong soon spread throughout the mansion, and everyone at the dinner banquet immediately raised their glasses to celebrate.

Three reminders.

Li Xuan looked behind her sideways, and said in a low voice, "Brother Ji Zhenxian, it's your turn."

Wearing a moon-white robe, He Zhizhang walked up steadily, glanced at the many Liu family members, then turned to the room, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what time it is, so I urged the balcony to get close to the mirror stand. Who knows that a lotus planted in water will bloom in the bronze mirror?" .”

"The Balcony" comes from Song Yu's "Gao Tang Fu": The concubine is in the sun of Wushan, blocked by the high hills, the morning clouds at dawn, and the rain at dusk.Day and night, under the balcony.

Who knows that hibiscus is planted in water, and will compare the bride dressing in front of the bronze mirror to hibiscus in water, which is as stunning as hibiscus flowers.

Everyone was amazed by He Zhizhang's poem. Compared with Zhuge Minghui, He Zhizhang was even better.

"Poetic praise, speed up for a moment." Mrs. Qinke knocked on the window edge behind again, and there was another light gong sound in the room.

Everyone at the dinner banquet raised their glasses again in surprise.

The relatives selected by the Liu family are all accomplished wives, and it is not so easy to fool them.

Where did the King of Nanchang find such a helper?

At this time, in the small courtyard, the eyes of everyone present fell on Li Xuan at the same time.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, looked expectantly at the figure behind the paper window, then looked up at the bright moon above her head, thought for a while, sighed with emotion, and said softly: "The sky is full of frost in Shili Tianhu, Inch-inch blue silk worrying about the new year, only looking at the moon to protect each other, only envious of mandarin ducks but not immortals."

"The last sentence only envies mandarin ducks and not immortals, but it comes from Lu Shengzhi's "Chang'an Ancient Ideas", wishing to be mandarin ducks and not immortals?" Mrs. Qin Ke looked at Li Xuan with a face full of surprise.

Li Xuan only changed two words, and it is more sincere than Lu Zhaolin's original poem,

"Predecessors' articles, later learners respect." Li Xuan hurriedly cupped his hands, and he looked back subconsciously.

But when he moved, he remembered that Lu Zhaolin was currently serving as the county captain of Xindu, not in Chang'an at all.

The new capital is in Yizhou, thousands of miles away.

Mrs. Qin Ke nodded in satisfaction, and said in admiration: "The groom's official words are really particular. Ten miles of Tianhu, he only envies mandarin ducks and not immortals. He is very satisfied. The bride is going out."

The sound of a "dong" gong immediately resounded throughout the courtyard.

Many high-ranking officials in the wedding banquet were extremely surprised for a moment, the speed is too fast, could it be that the left side let the water go.

Liu Rengui was also surprised. At this moment, the housekeeper sent over the three copied poems.

After reading it once, Liu Rengui nodded in satisfaction, and then handed the red note to the right minister Dai Zhide on the side.

"That's right, although they can't compare to Wang Bolu Zhaolin's generation, they are still great talents in the world, but who are these Zhuge Minghui and He Zhizhang?" Dai Zhide looked at Liu Rengui in surprise while passing the red note down.

"Zhuge Minghui is a descendant of Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. He originally lived in Nanyang and later moved to Zhuge Town, Wuzhou. Nephew, the grandson of He Deren, a former straight scholar." Liu Rengui explained briefly, and everyone present understood everything.

Zhuge Zhen has been dead for several decades, and there were some colleagues with him here, but I can't remember what he looked like.

As for the He family, because of their relationship with Prince Li Jiancheng, the He family has been neglected by the court for many years.

However, more than ten years have passed, three generations have passed, and the grievances and grievances of that year have long passed.

It's amazing to see this talent now.

"Three poems, one is better than the other, the heart of the King of Nanchang... this talent is really impressive." Pei Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, immediately re-spoken after speaking halfway, but the meaning of his words was heard by everyone present Understand.

Although Zhuge Minghui's poetic talent is good, whether he can qualify as a Jinshi is still in doubt; He Zhizhang's literary talent is better, and he should have a Jinshi; Nanchang Wang is the best, and he is quite likely to be the number one scholar if he advances step by step .

Pei Yan secretly ridiculed that Li Xuan had the intention of playing tricks, stepping down others step by step, and suspected of establishing his own reputation.

"Being human has always been to love the younger generation. Being jealous of the virtuous and capable is not the foundation of being a human being." A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and he directly turned to Pei Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

The entire banquet was immediately silent.

Everyone looked up subconsciously, and suddenly saw a person sitting opposite Pei Yan with an expressionless face, wearing a black pu cap, and a stern face. This person was the Minister of the Ministry of War, Duke Wenxi County Pei Xingjian.

Pei Yan, Pei Xingjian, and the Pei clan of Hedong, two great talents, grew up together, but they were incompatible and opposed to each other in the court.

"My official said so, but I hope that the king of Nanchang can be more vigilant." Pei Yan looked at Pei Xingjian with a gloomy expression.

"Even if it is to alert the king of Nanchang, Liu Gong is here, so why use someone else to replace him." Pei Xingjian's indifferent words directly pushed Pei Yan to the opposite side of Liu Rengui.

What day is it today? It is the wedding day of King Nanchang. He married Liu Rengui's granddaughter.

Pei Yan secretly slandered Li Xuan, and Liu Rengui was the first to offend.

Pei Yan, as well as everyone present, immediately looked at Liu Rengui.

Under the eyes of everyone, Liu Rengui said lightly: "You two are the pillars of the imperial court, so why bring the court dispute to the younger generation? Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven have their own opinions on how to deal with the affairs of the imperial court. That's it, let's stop here."

"Here!" Everyone present clapped their hands in agreement at the same time.

Everyone was an important court official, Liu Rengui mentioned a little bit, and they heard the purpose behind Pei Yan's words, and they all fell silent.

……

Li Xuan didn't know about the invisible game of these big bosses on him. At this moment, he focused more on Liu Jinyu who just appeared at the door and was being carried on his back.

She was dressed in a luxurious blue Zhai dress with gold silk as the border, embroidered with auspicious clouds and Di bird patterns, and flower patterns embroidered on the tail.

Wearing a golden crown of nine tinsel flowers and trees on her head, her face painted with delicate tinsel makeup, and holding a round peach branch fan in her hand, Li Xuan couldn't see her appearance clearly, but only half of her delicate face was exposed. Skin, soft hands.

Suddenly, the bride had already been sent into the sedan chair, but Li Xuan stared straight at the sedan chair as if she was insane.

In a daze, Li Xuan heard someone shouting from one side: "Get up the sedan chair."

Escorted by everyone, the sedan chair came to the front yard under the watchful eyes of countless relatives and friends.

Liu Yuanlang and his wife Zhou came to the side of the bridal sedan chair and gave their final instructions to their daughter.

Li Xuan could faintly hear the sound of sobbing, but he could only stand on one side at the moment, unable to do anything.

After a while, Liu Yuanlang and his wife Zhou took a step back.

Li Xuan bowed heavily to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, straightened up, swept his solemn eyes over all the guests, and then bowed again.

When she straightened up, Li Xuan's figure suddenly seemed much taller, and her eyes were extremely firm.

It was as if from this moment on, he was no longer a teenager, but an upright head of the family.

Stable and trustworthy.
